Apparently, it’s possible to completely hork up a Microsloth Exchange server by asking it to deliver 9 messages, each one about 30M in size, to 10 people. “Enterprise” e-mail system, my left hind arse. postfix, exim, sendmail, and qmail can all be set to say 550 Message too big, take off, you hoser if you try to send something larger than a limit (usually 10M, but that’s up to the person in charge of the machine.) Well, this should not surprise anyone.

I should have a new phone by Monday or Tuesday of next week. It would have been much sooner, but I found that I could order a phone for about $100 cheaper over the Net than I could get from a meatspace store. Money über alles. Well, if there’s an emergency or something, I have my work phone.

On Thursday, I forgot to put my book in my bag, so I had nothing to do but stare out the window on the bus ride to work. Duh.

Since they’re not part of “the establishment”, they can take many more controversial points of view about things, and print stuff that offends the living @#$^ out of elected officials.

A long time ago, I read something that said, “The purpose of journalism is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” I feel that too many mainstream news organizations just don’t do that. Mainstream news organizations can’t offend the advertisers, after all.
